"Going as far as marriage just to spite somebody really isn't your usual style." I let out a deep breathy sigh because ever since I moved on Ezra had become fixated on me, he gave me more attention now than he ever had before.
"Believe it or not Ezra, my world doesn't revolve around you. I want to be with him." I lied through gritted teeth because his words were true, I never felt the love for Liam that I did for him.
"And what reason is that for? The stability? The fact that you will have the same routine every day in and out, that he can provide for you and keep food on the table and maybe you can go on with your life looking at him and not completely hating yourself? You like him for all of the wrong reasons, this is a selfish act I never thought you would amount to."
His words hit me along with the scent of whisky that lingered from his breath. My heart had ached at the words he so sharply threw once upon a time but now I was numb to his torture, or whatever this was.
"Because he loves me." I spoke up, my words dragging Ezra down like a ton of bricks. "That's the reason behind this, he loves me. Something that you cannot provide and I cannot wait around for hoping that one day it will happen."
"You honestly believe that I don't love you? That's the most tragic thing of all of this."
My hand ran over his cheek as it used to and I so wanted to be with him, to be able to call off this facade I was building of myself but I could not carry on with the future if I was still dragging around the past.
"What we had was beautiful but it's old and dated. We come back to this place because it was the first true love we had ever experienced but you have Nicole, that's what all of this was about. You threw me out because you knew deep down that you wanted her-"
"I did it for the book."
"You chose her over me. After everything we had. You love her and that is the way it has to be now, I understand."
My hands were placed down to my sides and I began to gather my things from Ezra's apartment, my laptop, endless piles of work, clothes and even my toothbrush. I never really thought this would hurt so much but you never truly understand the heartbreak of endings until you reach the final page. I wish me and Ezra had a book that would never end but it seemed that even if that happened the pages were slowly getting more frayed.
"Aria you can't do this, I promise to make this right." Ezra pleaded his hand trying to grab mine but I was quick enough to now be able to flinch from his touch.
"Goodbye Ezra."
Dearest Ezra,
The love we had was pure and I hope you understand that there will not be another second of my whole existence won't cross my mind. I cannot look at the stars without seeing your eyes, I don't know how this could ever end.
All my love
Aria x
I placed the letter in an envelope writing the mans name on the front, leaving it on my bed. I watched the letters on the paper as I headed out of the house as the moon began to rise.
